Import-export and B2B distribution

Connecting a supplier offer with a destination market

Import-export connects products with needs in different markets. Operational success depends on consistency between the reference purchased, distributor expectations and supply arrangements. A product available at an attractive price must still suit the market, sales channel and customer timeline.

Martigane supports business enquiries by centralising the information needed for commercial discussions. Assortment, quantities, formats and destination frame the project. The guide to wholesale food and beverage purchasing provides pointers for searching for suitable references.

Preparing distribution and launch

Before offering a range in a new market, identify target customers and how they source products. Wholesalers, buying groups and specialist retailers have different needs. Carton contents, replenishment options and product documents can influence the decision as much as price.

The distributor search should reflect its actual business and interest in the range. Our method to find an export distributor helps organise qualification and follow-up. A limited launch can provide initial feedback before volumes grow.

Coordinating commercial and logistics information

Discussions should clarify the roles of supplier, buyer and service providers. Required documents vary by product and transaction. Their consistency should be checked before departure with the relevant specialists. The logistics file must remain aligned with the confirmed order.
